What are the advantages of doing laparoscopic over open surgery?

In laparoscopic surgery, a telescope is inserted to look into the abdomen and the surgery is done via tiny cuts. This telescope provides a magnified view of the internal organs, which decreases the chances of injury and bleeding, and makes the surgery safer. There is also very little handling of the organs during laparoscopic surgery, which leads to an earlier return to normalcy of bodily functions. Further, there is much less pain after laparoscopic surgery than after open surgery, leading to quicker recovery.
